About The Shires Inn & Restaurant
The Shires Inn & Restaurant is a pub on Main St in Lutterworth, recently refurbished and now under new ownership. The kitchen runs a self-service carvery with a choice of joints and homemade Yorkshire puddings, with mashed potato available alongside. Steak and fish sit among the other mains for those who want something off the carvery. A private dining room gives groups and family celebrations a space of their own. Reservations are required.

Customer Review Summary
The complaints are smaller but specific. One diner found the veggie Wellington very dry, with garlicky new potatoes the menu did not mention and no sauce or gravy, and felt staff were too preoccupied to ask once how the meal was. Another waited 20 minutes at the bar on a weekend lunchtime, first in line, with too few bar staff, and a third mentions a wait before the food arrived.

“We had a table for six adults and a three year old who’s birthday we were celebrating. All of us couldn’t fault our dishes, all the produce was fresh and very tasty. It was the first time any of us had been since the refurb but we all said we would definitely be returning! Thank you and see you again soon!”

“Not from this area but me and my wife were staying in Lutterworth after alton towers, googled restraunts locally and decided to try this. We was not disappointed. Good value for money and a good selection of dishes. Did have to wait a little while but the food was fresh. Very nice little spot for dinner.”

“First of all the food was absolutely gorgeous! We had the Tropical salad and the steak and both were delicious. It came out in a timely manner too. The service by Shan and Phoenix was so lovely. They were really friendly and smiley. Wonderful overall experience. :)”

“Came for a surprise 30th anniversary, 22 of us . We were welcomed and all the staff have been very friendly, helpful and couldn't do enough for us. The carveries were fetched at the same time as the other meals so we all had the meals together which was great. Food was all absolutely delicious, service amazing and place fantastic. A huge Thank you. Recommend to anyone, will definitely be returning. 😀”
